New to Supras
 

I'm just starting out with a Supra (1989 non-turbo) and could use a little help with all the acronyms. My motor is a 7MGE and body type MK3. I assume if u insert a t it means turbo. What is this jzgte, a newer motor? How about n/a, naturally aspirated? I'm in my 40's and the last car I had fun with was a 69 Camaro I bought during a stint in the Marines. The engines on the Supras seem a bit more complicated. Just changing out the plugs is a real pain, and man are the wires expensive. Other than that, I love the combination of muscle car/sports car/luxury of the Supra. I have ABS (which was pretty neat for 1989), a power sun roof, power locks, doors, seats, mirrors and just about anything else that moves. There is also a security system, which when I cleaned my battery terminals kicked in and now bye-bye radio. Anyone know how to get it back? The LED reads SEC for security I assume and I don't have the code. I called Toyota's main office to see if they could check their records but no luck and the local dealer wanted 92 dollars, which could buy me a brand new radio but I'd like to keep it stock. Any help please?

For abbreviations look at the next thread.
 

For stereo, you might want to read this:

Even if your stereo is different, it might work. And if you can not get around the code you can always try the sophisticated ones like "000", "123" etc.

much obliged
